1. Connect the 3/8” low-pressure hose to the outlet of the two-stage regulator.
2. Place the cylinder on the bracket in the recess compartment or housing and
secure them so the outlets of the cylinder valves are facing the “sidewalls” of
the compartment or housing (opposite of each other).
3. Mount the regulator on the center back wall of the compartment or housing so
the vent is pointed downward.
4. Attach the 1/4” inverted flare x 18” Type-1 pigtail hose to the regulator inlet
